Corrinne May in concert
I see the morning glory
It winds upon the tree
It tells the untold story
Of how things were meant to be
You saw the universe
Caught up in desperate dreams
You came and changed the ending
Changed it to save my fate
You led the revolution
You left your legacy
Embraced the struggle
In the face of mortality
I know I'm not alone in this
Help me believe...
I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains
It's still the same old story
This great divide
Between the want and waste
And all the hunger inside
I heard the news today
Now I'm trying to find my place
I'm just a single voice
What can I do to erase
All this misunderstanding
All this anarchy
Six degrees of separation
Sometimes it's so hard to see
That we are not alone in this
I need to believe...
-- "Free" by Corrinne May (Listen here)

Gee... I did not know that there is more than a tinge of Divinity in her song! - D W
She does have quite a few (very sweet) love songs. Maybe one day if and when I do fall in love, I'll relate to them better. For now though, if I had to pick a favourite song from her two albums, it would probably be this. :)
if you listen to Journey from her first album, or a few other tracks there, she does allude to God and her faith.
(she was my senior in school apparently!)
Yah, she mentioned in her thanks (in the CD sleeve) and the first thing I thought of was... Kit Chan. And they both have a similar mellowy voice -- from all the cheering perhaps??? :p
ah ha.ha. funny, you.
Stefanie Sun was from my school too, no mellow voice there...but then again she was only there for 2 years. =)
corrine may was also my senior in JC and the uni CF!
Two years of cheering is clearly not enough to hone mellowness of voice! :p
"if you didn't love me" is on repeat on my computer.
it is really really good. and her voice is absolutely lovely. close to heavenly.
Yeah, both her CDs have been playing at home and in the car. I love how she has a comfortable mix of fun and poignancy in her songs. :)
